While setting up a filter to trap and move spam to a seperate file, when the
list of spam domains gets too large (works around 3k not on 30k) this
appears in the procmail log file:

fgrep: wordlist too large
procmail: Program failure (2) of "fgrep"

I've tried increasing the linebuf to 32k and more but it still throws the
"wordlist too large" error.

Assigning to LINEBUF resets a procmail limit.  It has no effect on the
limit of external programs like fgrep.  Your only choices are to get a
less restrictive fgrep or to break up the list.  GNU grep has much
larger limits, so you could try installing it.
